Application filed November 7, 1910. Serial No. 591,139.

- time being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification. My invention relates to an improvement in radiators for automobiles, shown in the accompanying drawings and more particu larly set forth in the following specification and claims The object of this invention is aniinprovement in the general construction of appliancesof this character whereby the radiating surface may be materially enlarged Without increasing the width of the radian tor itself as ordinarily constructed. ln the present arrangement all air sin-rents entering between the water tubes are forced to travel in a zigzag manner on'each side of the entire bank of tubes from bottom to top thereof, thereby increasing the general efliciency of the device while the cost of manufacture over radiators now in use is greatly reduced.

Another feature of the invention consists in providing means to cut the lll-ilOW' of air currents between the tubes, frequently found desirable during a severe cold or Winterseason to prevent tree mg.

Other advantages and improvements will hereafter appcz r.

In the drawings accompanying this specication: Figure l is a front cle uition with parts in scction,---the arrows indicating the water circulation- Fig.2 is a vertical crosssectional VlOW on line 2-2 of '1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on line of Fig. i. Fig. l is a horizontal sectional view on line l% of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 a detail sectional view on line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

Referring now to the etters of reference placed upon the, drawingsza i is the outer wall of the radiator, B a projecting nipple with which the water circulating pipe lead ing to the engine (not shown) is connected.

B is a similar nipple connected with the water circulatingplpc, through which the water is returned to the radiator,

are through C are a plurality of zigzag or corrugated tubes relatively fiat suppolted in end walls D, D, in turn spaced from the outer wall or jacket of the radiator,--the ends of the tubes being open as indicated at d in Fl.

4 to communicate with the chambers E, E,

formed by the walls A, D, J, and K, of the radiator. The chambers E are sub-divided by partition walls orbai'lle plates 6 thus providing an enforced circulation of the water from one side of the radiator to the other through the tubes G as indicated by the arrows in Figs. 2 and 4- of the drawings.

F is a damper'hinged at having a suitable spring latch f adapted to secure the damper against being accidentally opened when closed.

G is the usual inlet cap through which water is introduced into the radiator, and H is the water overflow pipe.

6 indicates outlets in the chambers to insure the complete draining or" the radiator in cold weather. 7

Having indicated the several parts by reference letters, the construction and operation of the appliance will be readily understood.

Assuming that the radiator has been properly installed and charged with water, the, incoming air entering at i, will pass upwardly in a zigzag manner between each of the iiuttened corrugated tubes, bein drawn out at l by a fun (not shown}, u the water in the tubes will be forced baille plates c to circu ate in the 7 indicated by the arr-o v out to engine through the nipple B, then r urnnrgg to the radiator is the nip i It will be hat by corruga the tubes thei Q without air currents, contu tubes, insures a u the tubes than would otherwise be obtained Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1 *1. In an apparatus of the class described, a plurality Qt relatively broad, flat, vertically arranged, horizontal tubes spaced apart for the of air, between them, suitable headers or chambers with which said tubes communic bathe plates supported in said headers to insure circulation of water through each of said tubes, and means adapted to connect with the circulating pipes leading to and from the engine.

2. In an apparatus of the class described, a plurality of relatively broad, fiat, vertically arranged, horizontal corrugated tubes spaced apart for the passage of air between them, suitable headers or chambers with which said tubes communicate, bailie plates 10 dividing said headers adapted to insure a circulation of water through all of said tubes, and suitable nipples-by means of which communication may be established with the circulating pipes leading to and 15 from the engine.

3. In an apparatus of the class described, a plurality of relatively broad, fiat, vertically arranged corrugated horizontal tubes spaced apart for the passage of air between them, suitable headers or chambers with which said tubes communicate, bailie plates dividing said headers adapted to insure a circulation of Water through all of said I tubes, outlets for draining said chambers, and suitable nipples by means of which com- *munication may be established with the circulating pipes leading to and from the engine.

at. In an apparatus of the class described, an outer annular water chamber, a plurality of relatively broad, fiat, vertically arranged, horizontal corrugated Water tubes spaced apart for the passage of air, bridging the annular opening of said chamber and communicating therewith, a plurality of baille plates dividing said annular chamber adapted to insure the circulation Of water through each or said tubes, means for admitting air between each at the tubes, and means Whereby a water circulation may be established with the Water circulating pipe leading to and from the engine.

In an-apparatus out the class described, an out-er annular Water chamber, a plurality of relatively broad fiat corrugated Water tubes spaced apart for the pas ige of air, bridging the annular opening of said chamber and commun ra'lityof bailie plat iding said annular chamber adapted to inan lllt)llll'fl llllllflll of Water through each n1 fl tubes, means whereby between each of the tube damper fer con-.irolling the admission or air between the tubes, and means for establishing a water connection with the Water circulating pipe lcz'uling to and from the engine.

6. In an apparatus of the class described, an annular header, a pluralit relatively broad, fiat, vertically arranged horizontal tubes spaced apart for the passage of air between them and bridging the space be tween the Walls of the header, balile plates dividing said header to insure a circulation of water through all. of the tubes, and nipples connected with the header by which communication may be established with the circulating pipesleading to and from the engine.

7. In an apparatus of the class described, an annular header, a plurality of relatively broad, flat, vertically arranged, horizontal rig-rag tubes spaced apart for the passage of air between them and bridging the space between the walls of the header, balile plates diriding said header to insure a circulation of water through all of the tubes, and hi ples connecled with the header by which communication may be established with the circulating pipes leading to and from the engine.

In testimony whereof, sign this specification in the presence of two. Witnesses.
